Un-musical it - That Would Be Enough (Hamilton)

(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ca85QsAoV

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbESZhqBaO

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aCle5T2Fi

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth4UncxpUY

Hamilton: No.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wfC5bBI2p

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdIyl6NA8C

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjMnTGETs

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvsqytWpeD

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AmBW4KPT5

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJUlga0Gcj

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GjIOA8iV

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57AHGon20D

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKN6hfnpnV

Eliza: Look around. Look at where you are. Look at where you started. You used to be an immigrant from a place no one knew about, trying to gain an education in a place you weren't respected. Now, you write for General Washington, a man who is going to bring us independence. How can anyone not respect you now? 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A1cj7Eivs

Not to mention, the fact that you're alive is a miracle. You've lived twice as long as expected. Just please, stay alive, that would be enough.

And if this child has a fraction of your smile or a fragment of your mind, (laughs) look out world! That would be enough. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5aodj65eh

I don't pretend to know the challenges your facing, the worlds you create and erase in your mind. But I am not afraid. I know who I married. I don't need you to be famous or the most successful man in America, just as long as you come home at the end of the day, everyday...that would be enough.

We don't need a legacy. We don't need money. And if I can grant you peace of mind...if you can let me inside your heart...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGESRFfH7Ix

There will be a narrative written about you one day. Let me be a part of it. Let this moment be the first chapter, the one where you decide to stay...

Oh, and I could be enough! And we could be enough. That would be enough...

(Lost in the moment, Eliza looks at Hamilton again. He is crying. Another beat, and they embrace.)309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBpSNX12K6
